Item Description

 

Fred Chuang will match the winning bid up to $500, for a piece of Original Art Work valued up to $1000. This may also be a commissioned piece.

Artist statement:

My paintings are created using acrylic spray paint on the obverse side of clear co-polyester panels--PETG.  They are “obverse” paintings, rather than “reverse” paintings, in that they are not the product of a backward, formulaic process, but rather the result of a creative “dialogue,” action answered by a strategic, intuitive reaction, generated to be viewed through the clear surface.  Working from behind is not the equivalent of working in reverse. My creative arc parallels that of conventional techniques in that backgrounds precede foreground and details.

Using water, static, objects (found or created—to mask or print), and other masks and influences, I determine shapes and textures, building the paintings, color layer by color layer, overlaying textures and hues. I have also used collage in some works.

Finally, the optical qualities of the polymer "canvas," through which my work is viewed, becomes an additional “medium” in the finished work.

Each painting is unique—unrepeatable, by virtue of the technique.
